Is Love lyrics

She stares into the mirror, youth fading with the sun

The hollows in her face like wishing wells

Scarlet as a paper-cut and jewelled as the Orion,

She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl

She says "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sound

Is Love"

He stares into the river, heart falling to the drift

An argument of cars moving full steam behind

Blood-shot as a baby, and sulking like a valley

Fishing in reflections, killing time

He says "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is Love"

It's the bath that's getting cold

While you're frozen to your bed,

The milk that's going rancid on the table

The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin

The pointless items we forgot to label

It's the perfume on her wrists that stinks of easy birthdays

The spare keys like asbestos on the side

It's the cross around his neck for luck and not for honour

Like diamond over knuckle

On a newly married bride

She says "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is Love"

He says "The only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is Love"

And I know the only thing I've ever found

That's greater than it always sounds

Is Love
